What do our clients say?

Interpreter for a research project

I met Dora a few years ago when I needed help while I was in Split for a research project. I needed an interpreter and at the same time a capable organizer who knows how to deal with people and knows the local environment. Her approach was extremely professional and precise. I could not have completed the project without her help, and I am still grateful to her.

Curating exhibitions and translating specialized texts

The Association of Artists has employed Dora Derado several times to curate exhibitions and translate specialized texts. We were impressed every time by the work ethic of this versatile professional who is both creative and systematic, efficient and relaxed, as well as detail-oriented and comprehensive in her approach to work, regardless of whether she’s working on large group exhibitions that she conceptualized, judged, and curated; solo exhibitions of eminent artists or young, unaffirmed artists; translating complex texts or simple, pedagogically-designed informative pieces. Either way, she is a collaborator to wish for.

Decade-long collaboration designing graphics

Rugby Club Nada Split and Dora Derado began their collaboration in 2013. In its efforts to take a solid step forward in its visual appearance, the Club employed Ms. Derado to create various visual designs such as posters, tickets, booklets, and seasonal greeting cards. Dora’s precision, reliability, professionality, and imaginativeness add a whole new dimension to the Club which, through its work, aims to keep up with the current times in which recognizability plays a key role in one’s marketing activity.

Aid in resolving an immigration issue

As a foreigner, I had a complex immigration issue that required a translator. Dora met with me and took the time to fully understand my situation. When it came time to meet with the authorities, she wasn’t just a translator, she was also my advocate. She understands the local customs and culture and without her translating and assisting me through the process, I’m convinced things would have turned out badly for me. She is highly professional and personable. I was very lucky to have found her.

A professional curator and wonderful collaborator

I’ve worked with Dora on several different projects and have had the chance to follow her professional growth over the several years that we’ve known each other. With regards to her work ethic, I can only say that she is extremely professional and talented and that I can completely relax when we’re working together because I know that everything will be done on time and per our agreement. Behind the façade of professionality is a really wonderful person that’s easy to talk to and in whose presence I like to be, who I like to exchange opinions with and consult. I’d recommend working with Dora to everyone because she truly is professional and motivated when it comes to the work she does.

Translating an art historical text

I would recommend DLightful’s translation services to everyone. Apart from the fact that Dora Derado is a great and experienced translator, English is her mother tongue. Her being an art historian contributed to the quality of the professional translation of a text which was to be included in my dissertation in the field of contemporary art. Our communication was pleasant, quick, and easy. I’ll definitely turn to her for future translation needs.
